Question for the community - where the eff are all the silencers? LOL 😅
Seriously though - I love how hard the E in PVE has become, but it would be nice after these many hours on a single character to find a dang silencer.

Fuck this fucking game.
I spent hours putting a character together. Carried a tire from Novo to Belaya Polana and attached to a car I was putting together. I sat in the car and INSTANT DEATH.
Here's the worst part - I managed to respawn (miraculously) in Berezhki, got back to the [apparently] glitched car, only to find that nothing but the gun I had equipped remained. The car was gone, my character, all my gear... but for my FNX laying on the ground with the flashlight still on..
FUCK. THIS. GAME.

I spent ALL NIGHT humping a gas can, a battery and a tire back to my tent ... log in this morning - the tent is gone. The current state of this game makes it either a PVP game, in which there's no sense farming, base building or gathering loot - or it's a game only good for people who can be satisfied with only what they can squeeze into a single session. The danger of losing everything is a total deal breaker.

Wrong? No.
I've been using a variety of public servers, including NJ and GA servers. The latest wipe was on GA 2-15, before that it was on GA 2-19. My buddy lost shit on NJ 2-13. I'm not the only one experiencing issues. Is it just these servers with the generic titles?

In the back of my cynical mind I conjured a woeful thought - Perhaps Steam threatened BI with some sort of financial action if they didn't finish the game. Consider that the "Early Access Alpha" scenario is a big part of Steam's bottom line, and when companies like BI come along to cash in on the mere PROSPECT of a good game but offer no real path to completion (perhaps hoping to make a quick buck before people move on and forget), it makes Steam look like the arbiter of a sucker-scam. Bad PR for Steam if that's true. Sadly, this release officially feels rushed, and I'm fully expecting them to leave this one dead on the operating table having made it to "full release".

I wouldn't ask if I wasn't coming up empty-handed. It's simply a matter of play style. If the high-value loot is rare again, I'm just curious. 0.63 was nothing if not chock-full of fully geared players.

Folks - just wondering if it's the sudden uptick in server pops, or if they've reverted to a previous algorithm for loot spawn mechanics. You all may recall, long long ago, in a Slavic countryside far far away, one could only find M4's and high-value military loot like silencers at helicopter crashes. While AKM's (ahem, KA-M's) and other Soviet-era weapons could be found in places like NWAF and Vybor.
I fear I've been spoiled by 0.63 and how easy it was to hunt down an assault rifle. Thus far in 1.0 I miss being able to find an AK at Stary Sobor or one of the military roadblocks. At this point, I've only seen the MP5 and UMP.
Anyone hear anything worth sharing? Are Assault weapons and silencers still spawning in the small military locations?

Add to my list of woes with this patch -
Barrel stuck in the trunk of my Lada. Can't move it, can't do shit. Very frustrating.
Repairing ANYTHING with duct tape now consumes the entire roll of duct tape. Had a 'Damaged' raincoat, a 'Damaged' assault pack, and a 'Badly Damaged' splitting ax - all three consumed a full roll of duct tape.

List of things I've encountered, that should be addressed:
1. Can't remove attachments or magazines from my AKM, and in one instance I placed it down and upon trying to pick it up, I couldn't. Had to log to fix it.
2. The Lada sways opposite the direction of travel when getting into first gear or reverse, creating negative momentum that makes minor hills into car traps.
3. I'm starting to believe wetness is a thing with roads, and very minor grades, even whilst on-road become impassible. 1st gear needs to be far more 'torquey' and the rain shouldn't be presented as ice.
4. My group lost 4 car tents, 2 civilian tents, 6 buried stashes and 3 barrels on Sunday morning in some kind of persistence wipe - some of these items were in place and persistent for multiple weeks. Our car, fortunately, was not lost.
5. The M4 loses sound after the first couple shots and doesn't come back after a relog. My silenced AKM doesn't appear to have this problem.
6. Still can't unbox headlight bulbs.
7. If you make lateral contact with certain angles of the Lada, you’re launched into the air.
8. Prior to the persistence wipe, the camo netting would occasionally visually detach itself from the car tent.
9. Watched zombie ‘wander’ right through the front door of the two-story green house I was in.
Suggestions:
- There needs to be a way to fix can openers, and other small tools - that, or they need to last longer. I counted 7 cans on a pristine can opener before it was ruined.
- The splitting ax basically loses an entire status level for each tree you chop.. this is just silly.
- The headlights on the Lada are ABYSMALLY underpowered. While I can appreciate the value of not advertising my location at night with bright lights, a high/low beam would be sweet. In the back country and especially off-road, or when driving in any gear higher than 2 the short beam length is problematic. Maybe bind it to the same Semi/Auto toggle key as the M4.
- Fuel consumption needs to be fixed. Having unlimited fuel by simply never shutting off the car is nice, but it kills immersion and makes it harder to drive the car into sensitive areas if you can't shut it off (if you're out of fuel and wouldn't be able to restart it). It takes almost as much time to run out of fuel as it does to refill the jerry can.
Questions I have to the community:
- Does motor oil do anything? (I've had one car with motor oil and one without, and there didn't appear to be a difference)
- Are weapon flashlights not in game?
- Is there a trick to the headlamp or does it still not work? I can turn it on in my hands but can’t do anything else with it.
- Is the fireplace hearth in-game yet? The fireplace has a slot for stones, but I can’t seem to use the pickax for acquiring stones yet.

The lack of traction the LADA has on hills is offensive to my sensibilities as a car person. This thing is supposed to be 4WD and I can't even get up the hills around Novo on dirt ROADS. Is it the rain? Are the devs just f**king with us??
This thing should be an absolute CHAMP!! Save the offroad deficiencies for the Sedan and the 4-door Hatch when they're added.
Oh, and GOOD LORD, the damn thing burns fuel like a Panzer.

I've wondered the same thing, but I've reasoned it can't be that. Our very first tent was erected about 3 weeks ago, and our most recent car tent was added early last week - they all disappeared the same day (Sunday morning). This has all the signs of a "wipe", which I thought was a thing of the past. I'm concerned with putting much time into the game at this point since any effort could just be arbitrarily wiped.

Just wondering if anyone else experienced a wipe of their tents and stashes in the past 24 hours. I might have accepted it was the result of player activity while I was offline, but for the number of tents (4 car, 2 civilian), barrels, and buried stashes in very random secluded/spread-out places suggests a wipe.
